We have a 4 ft tall, 100' foot long Holly hedge composed of 40 individual plants that we would like to drench with Safari 20SG. Based on the label, the high rate for a 4' x 100' hedge is 4 oz of Safari 20SG. However, if I calculate per individual shrub within the hedge it comes out to approximately 0.85 oz per 4' Holly for a total of 34 oz for the entire hedge. Using 4 oz of product vs 34 oz of product seems dramatically different. Is this correct or am I missing something here?
We understand the different rate directions can be confusing on the Safari 20SG. You should get great results from using the higher rate under the product label directions for use on hedges. Since your hedges are in a row and so close together, some of the active ingredient from each plant's root system would reach over to the neighboring plants. So you could use the rate of 1 oz per foot of hedge height per 100 linear feet rate, which would put you at 4 oz for 100 linear feet of shrubs which is 4 feet high.
